Caribé
Four empires, five islands, one winner. Welcome to Caribé!
It’s 1590. The mighty Spanish Armada has been defeated, throwing the empire’s wealthy Caribbean territories into turmoil. The merchants of the Dutch West India Company have begun to siphon off trade while shrewd governors from the courts of Paris seem to be arriving on every ship. Meanwhile, the English crown has sent its legendary privateer, Sir Francis Drake, to disrupt the islands’ settlements.
